WTF are DR and DC, are you American by any chance or just a lazy typer? ;-)

Wish people would use the proper names for players positions or proper abbreviations.

Was just about to say this myself, wtf indeed.

Doesn't even make sense, who says defender right when referring to a Right back

Must be from football manager or summit

I'm willing to bet as much as we loved Chiriches' marauding forays forward, I'm willing to bet Poch hated it and I have to admit he did it a little too frequently and against nearly any top PL team we'd likely get burned on it.

Lazy typer. When i'm on my phone, there is no way I am typing it out in full. It's bad enough trying scroll through the pages without accidentally giving out ratings.

Probably is from Football Manager. I used to play it a few years back. Still it's not really that hard to figure out though.

Wasn't just aimed at you mate, sorry. There's loads of posters on here that do it, just one of those things that got under my skin!

Exactly what I was thinking. I doubt they were the instructions given

Think we would be mad to sell Vlad. Some forget he was MOM a few times last season. Looks made for Poch's system. Had a good game last night after an injury delayed pre-season.

Last night reminded me how good Vlad's tackling technique is... I wonder if he could do a job in midfield in the case of an injury crises?

My one gripe with Vlad is that he finds it nigh on impossible for him to win 50/50 headers.

It looks like he's scared.

Very good performance last night, he intercepted a lot of ball and made some good tackles stepping in front of the defender.

I still think in CH, IR, IL, RH, LW etc. I've got a long way to go.

What about Half Back which I think used to be used for a holding midfielder. I did grow up with Centre Half and Full back as the positions but some of the tripe people bring in now is ridiculous

Think there are lots of us who just dislike the way the Americans have applied their own descriptions to the game we invented that probably come from American Football. Wish they would adapt the 'language' we use as hate even the scores when read out, Tottenham Hotspur were last night victorious beating Limassol three to zero!!!!!! yuk
Please let's have RB, LB, CF, CH, RM, and LW etc. Thanks not a rant just a minor observation!!! ;-)

If Verts is injured or needs a rest then Vlad is the natural replacement. Yes he is weak in the air but he's outstanding on the ground and has genuine pace. Pair him with Fazio or Kaboul and you cover all the bases. You wouldn't use him against West Ham or Stoke but against small, quick strikers he's ideal.

Of all the rumoured departures he's the one I would least like to lose.

I think he is the perfect cover for Verts. As Verts went on one of his marauding runs on Sunday Capoue just filled in at CB as cover. A marauding CB seems to get more space as it is not expected and doesn't necessarily have anyone covering the run. Feel Vlad could do this equally as well if covering for Verts.

If this happens we need a midfielder to fill in like Capoue on Sunday. Is this something MS can do? I thought Sandro was off as he wasn't the same player he has been previously but was really impressed by him yesterday. Seemed to use the ball better as well as being back to his 'Beast' days
